TEA ANYONE?

                                  The layered Teapot          ("Tea Anyone?")
                                                           is now ready for some quilting...........
I took a few stitches last night when I couldn't sleep↡↡↡
Can you see them?
I plan to outline the pot to start, and then do some kind of filler stitching; I am using
regular quilting thread on this one in a beige--the background fabric is one that I
coffee dyed a few years back when that craze "squirreled" me...;))))
                          [There's a new word to add to the quilting lexicon lol]

I will be working on this one this afternoon while watching the Patriots game....
Go Patriots............p l e a s e...;0000

******************************
Here is a picture of a scrappy quilt I saw on Youtube that may be how I put my
red/pink scraps
together...

You can see that four 4" blocks are sewn together and then finished with that beautiful
sashing and cornerstones...

...I am thinking mine will be a much
smaller project--this one is some 60x60--total madness ;0000.--
perhaps a dolly sized
little quilt or even a pillow???...

I am really trying to make my projects smaller--but after making bed size or lap size
quilts all these years,
I am finding it difficult to do this...I just think in those sizes.....

I need to make some dolly size quilts to get into the swing of things..perhaps....
this one should become the first....
'
I hope your Sunday is a peaceful one in these stressful days leading up to
the Holidays...

  4. I know what you mean about making bed size quilts with each project, maybe we just like to piece! It sure is hard to break out of that mold.

  5. Sashing is a good way to tame the scrap blocks. I wish I'd thought of it.
